EXPERIMENT # 1 PRECISE MEASUREMENTS Micrometer Vernier caliper
Objectives: • To determine the diameter of a metal ball and the length of the cube using VERNIER CALIPER. • To measure the diameter of the wire using MICROMETER.
PARTS OF A VERNIER CALIPER 1 - Outside jaws: used to take external measures of objects 2 - Inside jaws: used to take internal measures of objects 3 - Depth probe: used to measure the depth of objects 4 - Main scale (cm & inch) 5 - Vernier Scale 6 - Retainer: used to block movable part
Measuring Using the Vernier: • Keep the body to be measured between the fixed jaw and mobile jaw Without pressure on it. • Take the main scale reading. • The division of the vernier that coincides with any division on the main scale is • also noted. This is the vernier scale reading. • Then, the measurement of the object will be = Main scale reading + (vernier scale reading x least count) Here, Least count = Value of One Main Scale Division / Total Number of Divisions on the Vernier Scale The units of measurement is in millimeters (mm).
For vernier caliper: Total reading = MSR + (VSR x LC) MSR = Main Scale Reading VSR = Vernier Scale Reading LC = Least Count MSR = 2.7cm x 10 = 27mm VSR = 1(5) = 5 x 0.02 mm = 0.1mm Total Reading = 27.1 mm
Electronic vernier calipers are also available The procedure for taking measurements remains the same.
MSR = .9 cm x 10 = 9 mm VSR =3.6(5) = 18 x 0.02 mm = .36 mm Total Reading = 9.36 mm
MSR = ______________________________ VSR = ______________________________ Total Reading = _______________________
SCREW GAUGE/ MICRO METER Micrometer: Is a tool designed to measure the thickness of an object
MEASURING USING THE MICROMETER: • 1. Keep the object between the measuring jaws. • 2. Bring the measuring jaws together by turning • the screw until the object is clamped and the • thickness to be read no longer changes. • 3. Take the main reading and the head scale • reading.
For micrometer: Total reading = MSR + (HSR x LC) MSR = Main Scale Reading HSR = Head Scale Reading LC = Least Count QUESTION 1 MSR = 7 mm HSR = 0 x 0.01 mm = 0 mm Total Reading = 7 mm
QUESTION 2 MSR = 8 mm HSR = 12 x 0.01 mm = 0.12 mm Total Reading = 8.12 mm
QUESTION 3 MSR = __________________________ HSR = __________________________ Total Reading = ___________________
Electronic screw gauge is also available. The procedure for taking the measurements remains the same
Conclusion: The diameter of the metal ball is _____________ The length of the cube is ____________. The diameter of the wire is ____________.
